The incident occurred on the penultimate ball of the 49th over of India's innings. Krunal had just completed his fifty in just 26 balls in his first ODI. He took a single and reached the non-striker's end. Something had irked the left-handed batsman and he went angrily saying something towards the bowler.

After which, the umpire had to intervene and England's wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler had to cool down the situation as it got heated up within moments. Even after the umpire separated the two, the left-hander kept complaining to the umpire about the same. As soon as the tempers cooled down, KL Rahul hit the last ball of Curran's over for a six.
